Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the laying and replacing work of tiles by laying a sound- proof rubber sheet, on a floor surface formed with a floor substrate and self leveling material, and by laying the tiles having joint members for preventing the tiles from being positionally shifted, on said rubber sheet. CONSTITUTION:A floor surface F is composed of a floor substrate 1 formed with concrete, wooden members, or the like, and self leveling material 2, and the surface is formed to be a smooth and horizontal surface. Then, on the floor surface F, a sound-proof rubber sheet 3 is laid. Besides, tiles 4 are formed to wind the whole outer peripheries with joint members 5 formed with the adhesive tapes of foam resin material. After that, on the floor surface F, the joint members 5 of the tiles 4 are pressed, and at the same time, the tiles 4 are laid forming joints 6. As a result, the tiles 4 are prevented from being horizontally moved and from being positionally shifted, and at the same time, the laying and replacing work of the tiles can be easily executed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a tile laying method that utilizes the restraint between tiles.

(Prior Art) One of the methods for forming floors and walls in Western-style homes, offices, etc. is to use tiles.

As buildings become more sophisticated and fashionable, the use of tiles is increasing, such as using tiles made of natural stone or laying tiles in patterns.

These tiles can be produced using a wet installation method, in which the tiles are fixed to a surface such as a mortar floor using cement or adhesive.
They are installed using two dry methods, including the sheet method, in which tiles are pasted in advance on the floor, and the inset method, in which legs are protruded from the back of the tiles, inserted into the floor, and fixed with adhesive.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, the conventional wet method requires skilled workers and takes a certain amount of time to complete. Unless it is necessary, it is uneconomical in terms of construction period and cost.

In particular, in the case of the inset construction method, the cost is extremely high due to the formation of legs in the tiles.

Further, the Dry Method 1 method has disadvantages in that joint treatment is essential after the tiles are laid, and that it is difficult to replace the tiles once they have been laid.

If it were possible to replace tiles cheaply and easily, for example, the floors of children's rooms could be designed in various ways depending on their age, or the sidewalks of buildings could be redecorated according to the seasons. It is expected that such requests will increase in the future.

Therefore, it has become an important issue to simplify the process of laying and replacing tiles.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and aims to provide a method for laying tiles that can be easily laid and replaced, improve work efficiency, and reduce costs. purpose.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The tile laying method of the present invention includes:
A joint material made of an elastic material is applied to the tiles to prevent them from shifting by elastic frictional engagement with each other, and the tiles are pressed against each other on the floor surface with the joint material of each tile and placed adjacent to each other. The feature is that the floor surface is formed by laying the tiles while forming joints between them.

As the joint material used in the present invention, a foamed polyurethane sheet, a rubber sheet, or the like may be pasted in the form of a tape, or a paste may be applied and solidified to form an elastic joint.

Any material can be used for these joints as long as it has a frictional force that does not move due to normal movement of people on the tile or vibrations caused by the arrangement of furniture or the like.

Further, examples of the member interposed on the back surface of the tile or the floor surface include synthetic resin, rubber sheet, elastic coating, and the like. All of these members have poor slip properties and restrict the movement and displacement of tiles.

(Function) In the tile laying method of the present invention, the joint material adhered to the outer periphery of the tiles exerts a regulating effect by elastically suppressing the spaces between adjacent tiles. This prevents tiles from shifting from one another.

On the other hand, the bottom surface of the tile is prevented from sliding on the floor surface due to contact friction with the floor surface side, which has poor slip properties.

Therefore, the floor surface can be formed simply by arranging the pieces without using an adhesive or the like, and the number of steps and working time can be reduced.

The most distinctive feature of the method of the present invention is that tiles can be easily laid and replaced. It can be partitioned by changing the color or material, creating a new culture in the living space.

(Example) Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described using the drawings.

FIGS. 1(a) to 1(d) are diagrams showing an example of the tile laying method of the present invention.

Introduction 1. A floor base 1 is formed of concrete, mortar, wood, etc. (FIG. 1-a).

Next, a molten self-leveling material 2 or the like is used on the floor base 1 to form a floor surface F with its surface as a smooth horizontal surface (FIG. 1-b).

Note that if the floor base 1 is made of wood such as plywood and a horizontal and smooth floor surface can be obtained, the self-leveling material may not be used.

Subsequently, a soundproof comb sheet 3 is laid down as an underlay material on the floor F (FIG. 1-C).

Then, substantially square tiles 4 are placed on this rubber sheet 3, aligning them one by one from the edge of the floor surface F (FIG. 1-d).

This tile 4 has a joint material 5 made of an adhesive tape made of elastic foamed resin material formed into a tape shape with a width equal to or slightly narrower than the thickness of the tile 4, and is wrapped around the entire periphery of the tile. are placed so as to press against the joint material 5 of the adjacent tiles 4.

That is, the tiles 4 are pressed against each other in the horizontal direction, and the joint material 5 is compressed in thickness to form the joint 6.
It also controls the lateral movement and displacement of the tiles 4.

Furthermore, since the rubber sheet 3 itself has low slipperiness, the tile 4 is prevented from moving laterally due to friction with the rubber sheet 3.

In this example, a granite sea bream tile with each side of 4,501 mm and a thickness of lf)+m is used as the tile 4, and a single-sided adhesive tape made of foamed resin tape with a thickness of 3.0 ms and a width of 7 cm is used as the joint material 5. used.

The joint 6 formed by the compression of the joint material 5 is approximately 1.5
When the joints were compressed to a degree of (2), the boundaries between the joint materials 5 hardly appeared in appearance.

The above-mentioned tile 4 may have a rectangular or other polygonal shape, a regular polygonal shape, or an arc-shaped outer shape in addition to a square shape, and the joint width may be parallel or have a constant width so as to match the outer circumference of other adjacent tiles. It is desirable that the shape maintains the following.

The material of the tiles is not limited to natural stone or ceramics, but may also be made of synthetic resin, wood, or other materials.

Furthermore, in addition to applying the joint material 5 to all tiles as in this embodiment, by applying the joint material 5 alternately to adjacent tiles, the gaps between adjacent tiles can be coated on either side. A layer of glued joint material may be interposed.

Tiles laid in this way can be stably fixed with joint material and underlayment by simply placing them side by side, and can form a flat and good floor surface without shifting even under the weight of people. Ta.

[Effect of the invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, concrete,
When laying tiles on various floors such as mortar and wooden floors, tiles can be easily laid in a short construction period and at low cost.

Furthermore, since the installation involves arranging the tiles, it is easy to replace the tiles, and the design can be changed freely to suit individual tastes and the seasons.
